With a bloodthirsty smile, Ye Moxuan said, “I meant what I just said.”
Xiao Su had a strange look on his face as he said, “Young Master Ye, do you really want me to nip the problem in the bud?”
“Do you think I’m kidding?” Ye Moxuan said as he glanced at Xiao Su coldly, and the latter immediately felt a shiver down his spine. “Understood, Young Master Ye.”
Then, Xiao Su dragged Lu Xunchang out of the coffee shop.
“Ye Moxuan! You cripple in a wheelchair! If you dare hurt my ‘brother’, Old Master Ye will make you pay for it!”
Xiao Su only followed Ye Moxuan’s orders and wasn’t even worried when Lu Xunchang warned him about Old Master Ye. He continued to drag Lu Xunchang out of the coffee shop emotionlessly.
Meanwhile, Shen Qi watched on in panic, thereupon she couldn’t help but take two steps closer to Ye Moxuan and whispered, “I think—”
“You’re dead if you dare plead for him!”
Shen Qi immediately swallowed the words that she was about to say.
It was as if Ye Moxuan’s body was shrouded in a layer of black smoke, making him look vicious and unapproachable. However, if she didn’t say anything, Lu Xunchang’s ‘brother’ might really be amputated.
Shen Qi then walked up to Ye Moxuan and pushed his wheelchair as she lowered her voice and said, “He has already learned his lesson. Just let him go.”
After Ye Moxuan heard this, he stayed silent; his gaze was like a violent tornado, gradually becoming bigger.
“If you really amputate him, it’d be really hard for you to explain it to Old Master Ye, so—”
“You idiot, didn’t I tell you not to plead for him?” Ye Moxuan suddenly reached out and grabbed her fair wrist, staring at her coldly.
Shen Qi stayed silent for a moment before she muttered, “I-I’m not pleading for him. I’m just worried that your relationship with your grandfather might get worse because of this…”
Ye Moxuan was startled by her answer and he narrowed his eyes. “You’re worried about me?”
Shen Qi nodded in reply. Her gaze was calm and sincere; she didn’t look like she was doing it to help Lu Xunchang.
After a pause, Ye Moxuan loosened his grip and said, “Push me home.”
“But Xiao Su—”
“It’s none of your business.”
Shen Qi wanted to say more but Ye Moxuan had already wheeled himself away. It was obvious that if Shen Qi didn’t follow behind him, he would not bother to wait for her. Even though Shen Qi was anxious, she couldn’t let Ye Moxuan leave by himself. After all, they were outside, and it would be inconvenient for him to travel around alone without her help.
Worried, Shen Qi quickly followed behind him.
Just when she was about to push Ye Moxuan’s wheelchair out of the coffee shop, a waiter walked up to them and trembled as he said, “Miss, Mister, please wait for a moment.”
Hearing this, Shen Qi stopped in her tracks and asked, “Yes?”
“Y-You damaged the property in the store so y-you have to pay for it.” The waiter had seen the fight that happened, so naturally he was terrified of them.
In a cold voice, Ye Moxuan calmly said, “Take note of the shop’s name. New furniture will be sent over tomorrow.”
Shen Qi nodded and quickly took note of the name of the shop.
Sensing how powerful Ye Moxuan was, the waiter didn’t dare to say anything else and just watched them leave.
Shen Qi pushed Ye Moxuan out of the coffee shop. As they walked on a pebbled road, Shen Qi commented, “Young Master Ye, you are too reckless. Old Master Ye will—”
“Why are you constantly mentioning Old Master Ye? What kind of benefits is he giving you for you to be thinking about him so much?”
When Shen Qi heard that, she stopped walking and bit her lower lip angrily. “You should stop looking down on people! I really am worried that the relationship between the both of you might get worse.”
“Is that any of your business? Don’t forget that this is the Ye Family’s business. An outsider like you has no right to meddle with our business.”
After Shen Qi heard what he said, the color drained from her face and her lips turned pale.
How could I forget? This is the Ye Family’s business. Even if Old Master Ye and Ye Moxuan detest each other, it has nothing to do with me.
The woman Ye Moxuan wanted to marry was Shen Yue, not me.
To the Ye Family, I am just an outsider. Besides, I’m going to leave this family after six months. Perhaps I’ve overstepped my boundaries while worrying about them.
After Shen Qi thought about it, she didn’t speak anymore.
In an instant, the both of them plunged into silence.
Passersby on the street would kindly make way when they saw them, therefore Shen Qi and Ye Moxuan had a smooth walk.
When they passed by a clothing store, Ye Moxuan suddenly said, “Stop.”
Shen Qi stopped and asked, “What is it?”
Ye Moxuan turned and looked at the store. “I want to buy some clothes.”
Hearing this, Shen Qi couldn’t help but frown. “How can you have the heart to shop for clothes at a time like this?”
“Wheel me in.”
Shen Qi was extremely furious, but she gritted her teeth and pushed Ye Moxuan into the clothing store.
After they entered the store, Shen Qi looked around and noticed that it was a woman’s clothing store. Why would a man enter a woman’s clothing store? Is he here to buy some clothes as a gift for his lover?
Shen Qi suddenly remembered that Ye Moxuan was looking for someone; her sixth sense was telling her that the person he was looking for was probably a woman.
Since he is here to buy women’s clothes, does that mean he finally found the person he was looking for?
The store staff hurriedly ran up to greet them, “Hello, welcome to our store.”
Ye Moxuan pursed his thin lips. With an icy expression on his face, he said, “We’ll take every item in the shop that suits her.”
Shen Qi, who was in low spirits, immediately looked up and stared at Ye Moxuan in shock.
“For me?”
He’s here to buy clothes for me? But I thought…
Ye Moxuan didn’t even look up, but his body emitted a powerful aura that made people want to stay away from him.
The staff glanced at Shen Qi and hesitated when she saw what she was wearing. However, after taking a good look at Ye Moxuan’s outfit, she decided to listen to his orders and hurriedly turned around to pick out some clothes.
Shen Qi started to panic when she saw the staff getting to work. “Wait, don’t…” Just when she was about to chase after the staff to stop her, her wrist was grabbed by Ye Moxuan and he pulled her back toward him.
“Where are you going?”
“I don’t need so many clothes…”
“You don’t have to pay for it.”
“I don’t want to use your money!” Shen Qi said seriously, pursing her lips as she stared at Ye Moxuan stubbornly.
Ye Moxuan already looked down on her. If she continued to accept the clothes he bought for her, she would look even more poor and unclassy in his eyes. The thought of it made Shen Qi determinedly say, “Even though I’m poor, I don’t need anyone else to spend money on me. I will buy my clothes myself! I don’t need your help!”
“Oh, really?” Ye Moxuan chuckled before he looked at Shen Qi’s fair face and said, “You only started working a few days ago and you already lost one month of your salary as punishment for breaking the company’s rules. What money do you have?”
“I…”
Even after some thought, Shen Qi didn’t know how to counter him, so she turned around and clenched her fists. “I’ll find a way no matter what. I don’t need your help!”
“Are you sure you don’t need my help? Why did you have such a big reaction when Lu Xunchang called me a cripple and sexually incapable just now? Weren’t you there to apologize to him?”
Shen Qi instantly straightened her back.
He’s right, I was there to apologize to Lu Xunchang but things didn’t go the way I expected. I didn’t expect that Lu Xunchang would say such horrible things. I only splashed coffee on him because I couldn’t control my emotions.
“I was too angry to think about the consequences, but what does that have to do with this?”
